Tests have found melamine in the chicken jerky Wal-Mart removed from shelves in July. The affected brands are Chicken Jerky Strips from Import-Pingyang Pet Product Co. and Chicken Jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading. As reported before, Wal-Mart removed these treats after receiving customer complaints, but they didn’t make any announcement to warn consumers. At this point, the FDA still doesn’t have anything about it on their site. Super.
There is a very well maintained list of safe (not part of the previous huge recall) pet foods at PetSitUSA.com. I strongly encourage you to check it out.
You can find out much more on previous recalls on my Pet Food Recall Archive Page.

I’ve read all your info on the facility where your chicken tenders
are manufactured in China. My question is how do you know what
the chickens are fed that they are using?
Their feed seems to be the big problem and what they add to it.
Who supervises that?
Thankd you.

I believe that your Jerky Tenders caused my dog’s death. Where do we go from here as far as analyzing them for either salmonella or melanine?? He was completely fine until he ingested your treats. One week of bloody diarrhea and vomiting caused my veterinarian and boss to euthenize him. I would like someone to contact me about this. I still have the treats and my other two dogs were made sick by them as well. THank God they didn’t eat as much as our beloved “Beanie” did. Please contact me at this e-mail address. simons_4@hotmail.com
Plese advise where to send treats to test for toxins…..
Dingo brand’s China supplier is Peidi Pet Product Co. Ltd., is also behind the Salmonella. The biscuit they are selling to Walmart was removed from the shelves in 2007 and was penalized with USD 50,000, and then the whole issue was erased from the record. Check with FDA official website and type in Peidi, and you will find at least 10 Salmonella records on the site. I am sure there is a conspiracy in the deal between Dingo, Peidi and Walmart.
I HAVE TWO OLDER DOGS THAT HAVE BEEN EATTING THESE FOR A YEAR AND HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS. AND THEY GET DIARRHEA IF YOU GIVE THEM ANYTHING BUT DOGFOOD OR THESE TREATS!
My dog has been eating the Waggin Train brand for some time with no problems. This latest bag made her sick with diarrhea, vomiting and lethargic for days. I gave her a special diet for a couple weeks and things got better. I never figured it was the chicken jerky until weeks after she got sick I decided she was ok to have one. She dropped it to the floor and wouldn’t eat it. That made me google the product and I found so many others with the same symptoms. Something is definitely wrong with this batch. She won’t touch them and she loved them. This company cannot begin to say their products are safe when they are manufactured by their “partners” in China. Lucky my dog is big young and healthy lab. I’m reading small and older dogs are sicker or even dying. Boycott China dog treats!
Have been giving my English Springer Spaniel Waggin’ Train for 3-4 years, one per day until recently, she started getting 2-3 per day due to increased activity. She stopped eating her dog food, urinating every 5 mins, drinking every 2-3 mins, I mean a cup at a time. Vet tested her and she had high liver enzymes and thyroid condition. Did liver biopsy(surgically) and found very fatty liver and discoloration of same. It almost tore apart in his hand. She was radiating heat like crazy through her spine area, yet her temp was normal. Would not lie on her bed anymore, just on the cool tile or out on the breezeway cement. This was a comfort dog who just loved the couch or beds, any bed at all. After being out over $1,500 within the past 5 weeks, I will never again give my animals anything from China. This product used to say ‘Rancho, CA’. I suppose that the taxes were too high so they moved and now the packaging states, ADI-Pet, INC. Reno-NV. I suppose and know that the taxes are cheaper in NV, so…I guess they went one step farther and began to outsource/import and now they have a bunch of ’shit’ for a product, as it now shows it is made in China. When were first began buying these about 5 years ago, there was nothing which showed they were made in China. I urge everyone to never buy this product at any time. Sam’s Club supplied ours, but I’m sure they are sold at a lot of places. I do not care what they say, I know it is the chicken treats that caused her ‘near death’. She is on the road to recovery, thanks in large part to money well spent, a good vet, feeding by hand, force feeding with a syringe, patience, pills by the dozens, sitting up at night with her and cuddling and soothing her fears. China can go to HELL and so can ADI-PET, INC. Nothing they can say will convince me otherwise and I will go into Sam’s Club and write all over their display cases…’THESE ARE FROM CHINA, AND THEY WILL KILL YOUR DOG’!!!!!
